HIS HOLINESS ARAM I DEPARTS FOR ETHIOPIA AND EGYPT
His Holiness Aram I started an official visit to Addis Ababa yesterday
upon the invitation of the Spiritual Leader of the Ethiopian Church,
Patriarch Paulos. In addition to visiting the Ethiopian Church, the visit
aims at reconciling the differences between the Ethiopian and the Coptic
Churches, a task to which the Armenian Catholicos has been dedicated during
the last few years.
During his visit, His Holiness will hold meetings with senior government
officials. Accompanied by his Ethiopian counterpart he will then visit
Cairo, Egypt, where a meeting with the Spiritual Leader of the Coptic
Church, Patriarch Shnouda III is scheduled.
Bishop Nareg Alemezian (Ecumenical Officer), V. Rev. Krikor Chiftjian
(Communications Officer) and Armenian philanthropist Gabriel Chemberdjian
accompany the Pontiff on his trip. The Catholicos will return to Antelias on
July 14.
